How many steps to the right of the origin is the point? How many steps above it?
(4,7)
Practice makes perfect
To find the x-coordinate of C, we count the number of units that it is placed to the right of the origin. Similarly, to find y-coordinate, we count the number of units that it is above the origin.
From the diagram, we see that C is located 4 units to the right of the origin and 7 unit above it. Then, its coordinates are x= 4 and y= 7, which we can write as ( 4, 7).
